How to delete spaces and line breaks in Word

When processing Word documents with whitespace and blurring errors, we often do it manually by finding each space and deleting them. However, if with long and multi-page documents, a lot of errors go down, the manual implementation takes a lot of time.

In this case you can use the Find and Replace feature available in Word, to search for whitespace that appears in Word, then proceed to fix the line down. This method will be much faster when Word will scan multiple whitespaces at the same time, so that users can proceed to edit.
